In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, then you probably know that Lost has been one of the most mysterious and popular shows ever to grace your TV screens since The X-Files. People never fail to tune into it wondering whether the survivors will ever get out, if they’ll all die or if they’re already dead and in Purgatory (a lot of people think it’s the latter). One of its stars, 34-year old Yunjin Kim, has benefited from the show’s success. Playing the soft spoken Sun, husband of Jin Kwon (played by actor Daniel Dae Kim), Yunjin expresses her love, not for her hubby on screen, but for another bad boy, the Mazda MX-5.

Based on an interview conducted by Daily Mail, Yunjin chose the Mazda MX-5, a convertible sports car, as one of the cars she loves to drive. According to the actress, she says that she chooses the car she drives in based on the serenity of the place she’s staying in. Yunjin fell for the Mazda MX-5 since she found the car to be cute and considers it to be a great ride while driving around town thanks to its sporty look and folding roof feature.

Considered to be the biggest selling sports car in Britain, with a total of 10,000 units sold last year, the Mazda MX-5 was able to capture a huge piece of the markets thanks to its speed, reliability and affordability. The car features a power folding hard roof, it’s first in 17 years, which folds into a slot located in the car’s rear in just 12 seconds. This has given the Mazda MX-5 the distinction of having the fastest folding roof for a sports convertible. Aside from this feature, the Mazda MX-5 is equipped with a five speed manual transmission and a 1.8-liter engine that allows the car to hit 60 mph in just 9.3 seconds and a maximum speed of 122 mph.

With features and performance like these, it’s no wonder that Yunjin Kim loves to get lost with her Mazda.
